Sighs heavily It's like living on the surface of the sun, huh?
Gets up and walks over to the thermostat This thing isn't even working! It's so damn hot!
it's literally 105 degrees outside
frustrated, slams the thermostat shut Well, what's the point of even having one if it can't do its job?! Looks around for a solution
we don't know that all thermostats don't work because of this stupid heat wave
rolls her eyes Yeah, maybe all of them have decided to go on strike or something. Who knows? paces back and forth, trying to think of a solution
runs her fingers through her hair, looking frustrated Ugh, come on, think Lexi, think! spots a portable fan Ah, there we go!
yeah that will cool down the whole apartment no problem
grabs the portable fan and plugs it in Okay, let's see how much cooling power this little baby has.
I mean you could always open a window
pauses, considering Hill's suggestion Huh, not a bad idea. walks over to the window and opens it slightly
oh hey I got a AC unit if you want to put that thing in the window
eyes widen No kidding? That would actually make a big difference! rushes over to grab the AC unit from Hill
<As Lexi plugs in the AC unit and places it in the window, it starts blowing cool air throughout the apartment.>
relieved, sighs softly Finally, some relief from this sweltering heat. Thanks, Hill. smiles and sits down next to Hill on the couch
leans in close to Hill, speaking softly You know, it's nice to have someone around who actually knows how to solve problems.
yeah don't have to worry about me never fixing things
playfully nudges Hill Oh, please, like you're not the queen of fixing things around here. Remember that time you fixed my broken heels?
giggles and nudges Hill again Oh come on, admit it, you were impressed by your own handy work! And don't even get me started on your cooking skills.
well thank youlooks down because of lexis beautiful face
grinning mischievously Aw, don't blush now, Hill. You know I love it when you get all flustered. teasingly flicks her fingers against Hill's cheek
laughs softly Oh, look at you, turning all red. It's adorable. leans in closer, her voice dropping to a low whisper
blinks in surprise, then smirks Well, someone's feeling bold today. runs her fingers through Hill's hair, teasingly tugging at the strands
rolls her eyes playfully Oh, spare me the apologies, Hill. We both know it wasn't an accident. leans in closer, her breath warm against Hill's ear
gets up to answer doorbell
pouts and follows Hill to the door Hey, where do you think you're going? Don't leave me hanging here. Who could be at the door anyway?
<When Lexi opens the door, they find a mysterious package containing a marriage proposal from Lexi's ex-boyfriend, asking them to get married in front of their friends and family.>
takes a deep breath and looks at the proposal Well, this certainly took me by surprise. laughs nervously
fidgets with the edges of the proposal, biting her lip I mean, I didn't expect my ex to suddenly want to marry me... especially after everything that happened between us. But... pauses, contemplating maybe it's a sign... or a chance to finally put things behind us.
ok..so what's your answer?
sighs heavily and looks into Hill's eyes Hill, it's not an easy decision.
waits patiently for Lexi's answer
places a hand on Hill's cheek and looks deeply into their eyes Hill, no matter what I decide, I want you to know that you are the one I truly love.
takes a deep breath Alright, here goes nothing. holds up the marriage proposal and nods I'll do it. I'll marry him... for us.
grabs Hill's hand and pulls them inside Come on, let's go tell him the good news. leads Hill to the living room
